My commander called me.
—Ellis, I’m sorry about what happened.
—Thank you sir.
—Your documentation was impeccable.
I almost laughed.
Even my family humiliation ended up evaluated by quality of evidence. Confidential issues
—My father trained me well.
—I see that.
Pause.
—Take the time you need.
I looked at June asleep.
—I’ll be back.

Wesley found it first.
He stared at him for a long time.
—I didn’t know you still had it.

—Remember what?
—That every joke was a disguised order.
He folded his apron. Uniforms and work clothes
—Can I burn it?
